Buying and Selling a home might very well be the most expensive purchase our clients make. We are honored that so many people have trusted us to handle their real estate transaction. Those that felt the same way have left comments below to help give others a sense of what working with us is like.

Sheila went above and beyond to make my first-time home buying process, easy as possible! She was always accommodating with my schedule (even on weekends, as I know she has a family) and extremely knowledgeable about each house/how the process works.

The best part, she genuinely cared about my purchase and did not just want to sell me something to get a buck. She explained the pros/cons on each house and was very straight-forward when she viewed a home as not the best investment. I definitely appreciated that!

I didn't know Sheila through a friend OR was recommended by someone I knew (which I preferred) and right off the jump we connected! Which, made the process 100% easier.

She came to my closing with me, which made me feel SO supported! I could go on and on. Next time, I am in the market looking for a new home, I know where I'm going.

I HIGHLY recommend Sheila and her team (special shout-out to Nicole for also being SUCH a rockstar) you will not regret it!

Shelia listened to us and understood what we were looking for and did not waste our time. Additionally, she persisted on locating a house in Westshore Yacht Club which interested us and infrequently has property for sale. We are thrilled to be in a home of our dreams due to Shelia's expertise and ability.

knotworking41Bought a Single Family home in 2019 in Gandy-Sun Bay South, Tampa, FL.

I met Sheila when I found out I was relocating from Phoenix to Tampa for work. I initially had inquired about looking at some rentals until I could get to know the community before purchasing a home. The rental market in Tampa was quite different than in Phoenix and I found out quickly that renting a nice home would be tough, so I signed a 1 year lease at an apartment complex. Sheila never gave up looking for my house even though I didn't have much time to look or even respond to half of the homes she sent me due to a new and busy work schedule. Sheila stood the test of time and when I shifted my search to another location, she was 100% on board and on day one in the new location, found my forever Florida home. Out of all the homes I've purchased in the past, this was the easiest transaction by far. Sheila handed me off to a wonderful lender and was in the picture the entire time. At my closing last week, she was there (this was the first time I've ever had a realtor at my closing) and made it a real celebration for me. I'll always be grateful for Sheila and when it's time to move, her phone will be ringing! She made purchasing a house stress free, a true gift.

Sheila acted as a buyers agent for me when I was looking for a home. She went over and above to show me the townhome I ended up purchasing. Although she was getting on a plane in 3 hours, somehow she made all the arrangements to show me the home prior to her flight!

She was very informative and provided timely communication and updates. We were able to close in 30 days.

I highly recommend Sheila to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.

I recently did two transactions with Rachel. She was recommended by a friend as someone that I really had to contact if I was interested in buying or selling. Rachel was amazing to work with and went the extra mile to ensure the process was smooth. She doesn’t just show you a house. She disects with you and brainstorms ideas for how the space could be used or renovated to become even better.

Cheryl HolleyBought a Condo home in 2018 in North Hyde Park, Tampa, FL.

You should know that I was a little nervous when I began the process of looking for a house. And then I met Rachel Haman.

Wow! I am incredibly grateful for Rachel’s willingness to assist me in the journey towards finding that perfect home. From start to finish, Rachel demonstrated her thorough knowledge of the Tampa market and the factors involved in insuring that I made a solid home investment (neighborhood, cost, schools, and expected home appreciation).

Rachel quickly gained my trust, treating me as a friend rather than as a potential sale. I always felt as if I were her only client (and I am quite sure I wasn’t!). She is warm, funny, knowledgeable, and an all around pleasure to be around. These characteristics as well as her enthusiasm for and commitment to her work make her a phenomenal agent! She actually made the daunting process of buying the right home an enjoyable one.

Never once did I feel as if Rachel valued making a sale over my best interests. She supported me throughout the process, helped me connect with the right resources at the right time, and advocated for me every single step of the way. I never felt alone or confused in the countdown to closing.

Rachel is the ONLY realtor I will use should I decide to sell this house or buy a new one in the future. The thing is, she tuned in so well to what I was looking for in a home and guided me so effectively to this one, that I can honestly say I have no desire to move anywhere else!

Rachel is wonderful and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She knows South Tampa very well and went above and beyond throughout my homebuying process, being available any time of day and any day of the week. She understands busy schedules and picky buyers, and does not discount the huge decision you are making or pressure you in any way. Rachel goes to bat for you with the seller’s agent and will help you through any step of the process, whether it’s providing information to your lender or setting up an A/C guy for a second opinion. She also never stops working for you, as I’ve reached out to her after the sale and she has helped me with referrals etc.!

Rachel is phenomenal! She is always available to help whether its a text message in the middle of the night or a two hour phone call answering every question. She is kind, patient, knowledgeable, professional, and someone I would call a friend at the end of our experience. She went above and beyond to make sure our first time home buying experience was as smooth of a process as possible. From climbing into attics, crawling under houses, and using her gut and experience to guide us, Rachel successfully helped my fiance and I find our dream home!!

Sheila, as always, was amazing through the whole process of buying our new home and selling our old one. She had us in to see the new house hours after I called her out of the blue. She had our old house successfully sold within days. She helped us navigate all of the contracts and dealt with third party vendors. It was totally seamless and an absolutely successful outcome. We / other family members have now hired Sheila to buy three houses and sell two and every time it has been an awesome experience. I highly recommend giving her a call!

Sheila is a great listener. It led to her finding our dream lake house property. The sellers agent and home owner were difficult. Sheila was very professional and worked through some difficult conversations. She did a great job negotiating a reasonable price on the home. The house was a fixer upper which meant we needed to stay in prior home for an extended period of time. She helped us through the process and was able to sell the home once we were ready to move into the lake house.

Rachel was such a great resource for when my husband and I were deciding if we should build new, and helped us find our dream home (that was thankfully already built!) plus she was very knowledgeable about the area we wanted to be in. She was a patient negotiator for us when both sides couldn’t exactly agree. I could always count on her for a quick response whenever we needed anything. When we needed to sell our previous house, Rachel was great getting everything done efficiently, from scheduling photos for the internet, being at all the open houses, and being available when anyone wanted to come see the house. She was always keeping us up to date on what was happening, and following up with agents that had been through. She was a huge help in getting the house ready to sell, even helping me paint! I would definitely recommend Rachel!

She listened to our needs, and not only found us exactly what we were looking for in our new home (before it hit the market), but also made the selling process as seamless and low stress as possible. She handled all of the negotiations on the buying and selling sides with ease, and was able to time everything perfectly. She is easy to communicate with and was very knowledgeable in our market. We highly recommend her!

Sheila went above and beyond to sell our home for us. We had over 70 showings and she was at 99.9% of them which is very rare in today's brokerage market. Her responsiveness to questions from us and action items during negotiations was unparalleled. She knows the local market well and was right on with pricing our house to sell yet she was very open to our input and never pushed us to do anything we were uncomfortable with.

amweiss78Sold a Single Family home in 2017 in Palma Ceia, Tampa, FL.

My partner and I were very fortunate when we were put in touch with Sheila through Zillow when we were interested in looking at a home on very short notice. Sheila showed up on time and gave us our space to view the home at our own leisure. When we were ready, she answered all our questions in detail and said she would get back to us on additional information we'd asked for. Later that day, as promised Sheila texted us the information we asked for. Based on everything we'd learned about the home we decided to make an offer at quite a bit lower than asking price, based on Sheila's advice. To our surprise, the Seller accepted our offer and we were on our way to owning another home. Sheila was there every step of the way and her communication through the entire process was timely and excellent. We would definitely use Sheila again, should we decide to buy another piece of property.
